    Default Switch GUI language of Creator 1.3.0?!?

    Hello,

    it seems that Qt Creator now (in version 1.3.0) uses system language setting for choosing its GUI language. I don't want that, I want to always use english language for menus and all GUI of Qt Creator. I cannot find any easy way to switch GUI language. How to do that??

    Thanks for hint, this is one example to prove that making software too "smart" isn't always wise.

    At least there should be an option to override this behavior.

    Where do I find them (sorry, I'm really new to Creator, and QT in general!)

    Just export the environment variable LANG=en.

    If you prefer, you could use a script to launch QtCreator overriding the variable.
